Electrical professionals know the importance of getting the right cable for the job. It can be a long process to work out the conductor size of the cable needed for your project; however, an efficient cable calculator can save a lot of time. CableApp by Prysmian Group does that and much more.
What is CableApp?
CableApp is a handy, easy-to-use cable calculator tool that helps electrical professionals select the best cables for each project and installation.
CableApp is suitable for a range of applications, including making electrical improvements such as adding new supplies to outbuildings and electric vehicle charging points, or refitting shops or office spaces. CableApp includes information on a variety of cables including Low Smoke zero halogen (LSOH) cables, fire performance cables such as FP200 Gold, and low voltage armoured cable such as BS 5467.
CableApp provides peace of mind to designers, installers and their clients as it is fully compliant with the latest wiring regulations, including BS 7671 (18th Edition, Amendment 2).
A major benefit of CableApp is that it allows users to work effectively in their own time. Cable calculations can be made anytime, anywhere on the mobile app or on a desktop. This means fast, effective results from the office, onsite, or on the go.
How to use CableApp
It’s very straight forward to use CableApp. There are two methods of calculation, one by cable type, where you choose the product family, voltage, installation method, etc., and the other is Cable Calculator where you select the installation parameters and CableApp suggests what cable to use.
CableApp will also suggest alternative cable options. See how electrical professional Chris from CJR Electrical uses CableApp for his installations on YouTube.
The cable calculator made with sustainability in mind
Making more sustainable choices is high on the agenda, especially in the construction industry. CableApp can calculate the total savings on energy bills or potential reductions in CO2 emissions by evaluating the use of alternative cable sizes.
As well as revealing energy savings, users can amend their energy costs to ensure the solutions are tailored to their specific needs and help towards any sustainability goals on their project.
Other key benefits
CableApp also generates datasheets, allowing designers and installers to get full access to information on each product. Users are also able to save, print, and share the results of each cable calculation – saving time and allowing users to instantly collaborate with colleagues and suppliers to get the job done quicker and easier.
CableApp is available on desktop and is available to download for free on mobile or tablet from Google Play or the App store.
